One More Time: Rebirth 5 Rapid improvemen

It's been two weeks since I started training with the sword and with magic. Like in my previous world my affinity with the sword was greater than magic, but it seems like this body of mine has a much higher affinity to magic than in my previous life.

I also noticed that the people of this world were so much stronger than the people in my previous world. In fact, though still young I can feel the potential of this reincarnated body of mine, which would most likely surpass the strength of my previous body.

The sword techniques that Dad showed me were also more refined than the sword techniques of my previous world. If my mom and dad were the ones who fought the demon lord they would've won without any casualties. If those two who aren't even in S class are so strong then the people who are actually S class must be monsters.

I tried asking my mom what where the S class people like. Of course, mom happily answered while hugging me. I found out that in magic there was about just one person each who holds the rank of S, SS, and SSS. Aside from the SS, the other two ranks were given to a different race that was not human. In the realm of swordsmanship, there is only one who holds the rank S class but it is also not from the human race.

Yet aside from him there was one who was stronger one who cannot be rank one who is human at the same time not human. He holds no rank or name and the people call him the king of swords. Seeing as the people of this world are stronger and faster, it would seem that the reason my parents weren't surprised to see how strong I got at such a young age is because the children in this world start training at an early age. Usually, a child would start training at the age of four, but I started at three which was only a year earlier. If this was my previous world they would have thought of me as a monster child. Yet here it was a little weird, but perfectly within the realm of plausibility. Knowing this made me want to train even harder.

Three months have passed my current standing goes like this,

Magic:

Fire: D class

Water: D class

Earth: D class

Wind: D class

Healing: E class

Sword:

Fire style: E class

Water style: E class

Wind style: E class

Void style: D class

The movement for sword techniques was a little hard for me because my body would move as if I was still a full-grown man. It made my moves a bit awkward and stiff as the height and reach of my new body as opposed to my old one were greatly different. Seeing me move in such an awkward way I thought my dad would say something, but instead of scolding me like I thought he would. My Dad would just look at me curiously while nodding his head then he would say, "those are some interesting movements."

I continued to practice as hard as I could but my skills weren't increasing anymore. While I was feeling a bit frustrated, my parents told me though I have the skill of one who is ranked I'm still an unranked person. To officially gain a rank I must take a test. But that is only possible when I'm seven years old.

The purpose of the ranking system was so that one might know another's level of skill. It seems like the higher your rank the easier it is to get a job offer, also as your rank goes up so does the pay. Well, there are jobs that don't require the ranking system like merchants, teachers, appraisers, and others such jobs that have no need for the use of swords or magical skills.

Well, I'll look into those later, for now, I just want to get stronger. I also learned that the normal standard for one to be a knight in this world was at least a D rank in any of the four sword styles.

So right now I have the capability of a normal knight or I might be higher because I know magic.

It seems like in this world there are only a few people who delve in both sword and magic. Usually, they would only focus on either swordsmanship or magic, saying that it would be hard to attain anything if you train with both. Up to date the strongest person who uses both magic and the sword has only reach B class.

A few more months have passed and my mom was in the later stage of her pregnancy, so she wasn't able to give me magic lessons for the time being. This, of course, made her feel extremely melancholic. So sometimes instead of the usual magic practice, every now and then I would simply go to my mom and comfort her.

A few weeks have passed and the only improvement I had was a little bit in magic. My current skill were like this.

Magic:

Fire: C class

Water: D class

Earth: D class

Wind: D class

Healing: E class

Sword:

Fire style: E class

Water style: E class

Wind style: E class

Void style: D class

With this kind of improvement in such a short time, my parents kept on saying that I was a genius one that only appears once every hundred years. Indeed in their perspective, their three-year-old son was a genius who could already be rank as a knight and can use voiceless chants.

Yet in my perspective, I was a person who still has his memories of his previous life, so this kind of pace was actually slower than expected. I was someone who beat the demon lord in my past life. Well, to be fair this body is still young and it most certainly can grow more. Even my mana capacity improved.

Now I could feel a larger power surging. Still, even with these improvements, I wasn't able to use any magic from my previous world except for strengthening magic.

Maybe in this world, there also exists similar magic and that's why I'm able to use it. Also, I wanted to try using my ultimate sword technique the [silver sword] but as I am now my little body might break. So I think I'll try it when I get a little older. So let's try my best today as well.
